Yeah, even though I don't do much non-IE work these days, the other
browsers are at worst comparable (and many would say have far exceeded
IE). If you stick to standards-compliant code, there tends to be not
much difficulty writing cross-browser code these days. I think there's
still enough difference in how things are rendered to make it
unpleasant, but it's not nearly as difficult as it used to be.
